Becca Bernstein — acrylic/ portraits

Becca Bernstein is a painter living and working in Portland, Oregon. Bernstein's work focuses on Human relationships, family, and aging. She explores issues of human fragility and strength in what she describes as "the awkward dance of human interdependence." Bernstein also works closely with residents of senior long-term care homes in Oregon and Scotland since 1998. In her 2008 artist's statement for The Last Room she wrote, "I am witness to the modern anomaly of dividing the tribe - of the separation of generations from one another, each to their respective institutions. As an artist, my interest in this subject has led me to seek out communities of all kinds for my work, both traditional and uniquely present-day, exploring the relationships we have developed or abandoned in this contemporary age."
